April 3, 200422 yr its really not that big of a deal.. out of the 162 games this season, 150 of them will be televised on FSN or PAX and another couple will be on FOX and ESPN. you'll still get to see 95% of the season, which is great for me, since i didn't even have cable last season.
April 3, 200422 yr I can see all the games FSN, ESPN and FOX air, but not PAX. The campaign continues.
April 3, 200422 yr How naive can you be? It's all about the bucks, people! Games will be broadcast in markets where the companies think they will make the most money. They don't care that 10 people b***h and complain about their games not veing televised. But, try and pull a Braves game or (heaven forbid!) a Yankees or Mets game!! Oy Vey!! Yenta, the Mets air 150 games in New York like the Marlins. Markets have nothing to do with who is playing against and whether it is on the tube or not, it has to do with logistics and access. You can't air all 162 games because of 3 factors... 1) FSN has the Marlins and D-Rays and must show the games statewide and live. 2) PAX can't air games on Wednesday due to ESPN. 3) Airing 162 games without a break for the TV crew is difficult.
April 3, 200422 yr i dont like that wednesday rule... yeah i remember last year the marlins had to buy the coverage of the pr games and had to show their feed of it. they never planned on doing it because they figured its in sept and everyone would have tuned out on the fish by then. we all know what changed their minds... lets look at it this way: if 4 of the first 9 arent televised, that means of the remaining 153 games, 145 will be shown
